🇵🇱 Erasmus+ Training Course in Poland 🌲 Outdoor and Nature-Based Learning for Resilience and Emotional Recovery 🏕️

What if the forest, the fields, the body, and the group could become part of meaningful educational practice? Windmill Tree in Nemoland is an Erasmus+ Training Course deep in a remote Polish nature reserve, a project about slowing down, reconnecting, and discovering how nature, simple living, creative tasks, and community can become tools for emotional recovery, resilience, and teamwork.

About the Project

This is an outdoor learning experience that uses nature, simple living, creative tasks, and community as tools for emotional recovery, resilience, and teamwork. It is a project about slowing down, reconnecting, and discovering how the forest, the fields, the body, the group, and imagination can become part of meaningful educational practice.

About the Place

🌲 Nemoland, meaning "no man's land", is a 36-hectare remote nature reserve around Ramberg and the Kamienica River, a place of absolute silence, darkness, and wild nature, hidden between the Iser Mountains, the Giant Mountains, and the Bóbr Valley Landscape Park

🏡 In 1997 the Dutch nature association Nemo founded Nemoland as a non-profit cooperative and autonomous zone, living with what nature and the Polish villages of Stara Kamienica offer
